The Ruling on Delaying the First Congregational Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, a questioner asks and says: Some young men miss the prayer with the first congregation and pray in other congregations. Is this considered wasting the prayer?
Answer:
If they pray in a congregation and within the time, praise be to Allah, it is not obligatory for them to pray with the first congregation. They should strive to pray with the first congregation, there is no doubt about that, but if they miss the first congregation, they pray with another congregation; they do not pray alone. Yes.
